Tahini, maple & almond cookies
There is absolutely a place for cookies in our lives! Even those like me who tend to go for savoury before sweet when hungry, there is something about those cookies that is just so delicious. Super quick to put together and with a better protein content than most shop bough cookies! What’s not to like?
